HOUSING AND HEALTHCARE TO MEET COMMUNITY NEEDS Greater Napanee has situated itself as a solution provider for two of Ontario’s most pressing challenges: housing affordability and healthcare access. The municipality’s coordinated approach to these essential quality-of-life factors creates an attractive proposition for both current and prospective residents. “We’ve focused on ensuring significant land is available for development to ensure housing availability and choice for homebuyers.This has placed Greater Napanee as one of the more affordable housing markets in Ontario, where it’s still possible for young families and people new to the market to afford a home,” Mayor Richardson describes. The municipality has 1,600 shovel-ready residential units in various areas, with development plans that offer diverse housing options. These include urban and rural single-family homes, townhomes, and condominiums at price points more accessible than in many neighboring regions. The Gibbard District Condominiums along the Napanee River showcase the town’s ability to create attractive housing in scenic locations. This housing strategy operates against the backdrop of Ontario’s ongoing housing crisis, where average home prices in many communities have far outpaced income growth. Greater Napanee’s ability to maintain relative affordability represents a significant competitive advantage in attracting workforce talent. Healthcare innovation is another community strength. “We’ve established a unique partnership with community health care providers that guarantees every resident access to Primary Health Care. This system is being emulated across the province as a model for addressing physician shortages,” Mayor Richardson states. 11 CIVIL AND MUNICIPAL VOLUME 06, ISSUE 04 GREATER NAPANEE, ON
